  1. Would you pray with a student?

    khminh replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    Until you are in a minority's shoes, you would not understand. Speak with a non Christian who is close to you. Then you will understand. I'm not an atheist, but I read the Bible. Learning about...

  2. Do You Have To Be Religious/Spiritual to be a good Nurse?

    khminh replied to Soliloquy's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Buddhists are not saints. They can be violent. No body gets a pass when it comes to religion. I practice Buddhism, but I don't speak for other Buddhists. If they want to be violent and call themselves...

  3. Would you pray with a student?

    khminh replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    I have an Asian face. I speak English with an accent. My name is Vietnamese. Perhaps nurses like Brenda F. Johnson might ask me about my belief. I bet if my name is Korean or Filipino, the reaction...

  4. Would you pray with a student?

    khminh replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    Pray for me as much as you like to, Ms. Christian. Just don't put me on the spot when I'm in a vulnerable position. If you say to me "I will pray for you" without asking me what I believe in, what my...

  5. Do You Have To Be Religious/Spiritual to be a good Nurse?

    khminh replied to Soliloquy's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Soliloquy, I'm sorry that you had to endure such religious nonsense. I say this as a spiritual person. Honestly, I feel like Christians should not be nurses at all. Period. I'm sure you can see their...

  6. It's not my job to pray with you.

    khminh replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Of course, your job is to win souls for Yahweh. When I am in your hospital, I will ask you to meditate with me. Better yet, I will ask you to reflect on a stoic wisdom with me. Let's see how much...

  7. Have you literally prayed over your workplace?

    khminh replied to gibsongirl's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    For whom? The patient? Well, when I become your patient, please do not ever ask for my permission to pray for me. Pray for me if you like it. If you bring it up, you put me in a situation that I have...

  8. Prevalence of Christians in the field of nursing

    khminh replied to FSUNurse2b's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    That is a typical Christian mindset. I'm not at all

  9. Nursing Spirituality

    khminh replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You are the type of Christian I can respect. As long as you don't ask me to to worship your deity, we are all good. I don't care about believers' manner. When they intentionally "share" the so-called...

  10. Is Faith Enough?

    khminh replied to jaelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I cannot answer for atheists since I'm not one. I am a Buddhist transcendentalist. I'm selective of what my spiritual practice should be as long as it benefits myself and others. That is just my...

  11. Is Faith Enough?

    khminh replied to jaelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Well, I don't want to engage in a religious conversation with Christian fundamentalists. They initiated it, and they actually believed that non believers would suffer for eternity simply for not...

  12. Nursing Spirituality

    khminh replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I really like this line of yours. The feeling of transcendence is there. That's why we believe what we believe. However, OP stretched to the extent that anyone who is a caring healthcare professional...

  13. The Nurse's Role in Providing Spiritual Care - Is It OK to Pray?

    khminh replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Actually, I'm strong enough with my spiritual autonomy. I am aggressive toward Christians because I have seen with my own eyes how they tend to end a conversation with some statements like "I hope...

  14. The Nurse's Role in Providing Spiritual Care - Is It OK to Pray?

    khminh replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You are the shiny image of nurses. I'm not sure if how committed you are to your faith. In my opinion, the idea of being a devout Christian and a dedicated nurse seems oxymoron. When I was a naive...

  15. The Nurse's Role in Providing Spiritual Care - Is It OK to Pray?

    khminh replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Good for you as a nurse. Why should I, as a Buddhist patient, have to appreciate your holistic care when I don't believe in "your

  16. Nursing Spirituality

    khminh replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Have you seen how OP replies to nursemaryzzel? This nurse also preaches about the good Samaritan. This shows us how Christianity makes good people make excuses for bad behavior. I totally empathize...

  17. Losing my religion

    khminh replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    If it was in 2003, the year my family immigrated to this country, I might still have that innocence in me to believe Christians have good intention. After the period my family had to dealt with...

  18. Im Pagan and a Hospice Nurse....

    khminh replied to SaylahStarr's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Actually, I think those nurses are practicing their faith. Their manners may be undesirable, but their belief is biblically sound. This is the reason I feel like Christian nurses should have not work...

  19. Nursing Spirituality

    khminh replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    And Christians complain why atheists are ferociously against religion? I don't understand why it is so difficult for Christians to see that compassion is not an exclusive property of Christianity. I...

  20. Losing my religion

    khminh replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Isn't it ironic that Christian nurses express their faith to patients without their invitation and then complain when non believers express their disapproval of Christianity? It is like they are going...

  21. The Power Of Prayer in Healthcare

    khminh replied to TheCommuter's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Next time, when I am in your hospital, you had better watch your back. I will ask you to chant Siddhartha Gautama, the first Buddha, with me. If you refuse, I will report you to your supervisor for...

  22. "Fighting" Cancer

    khminh replied to My3GuysinVA's topic in Oncology

    I think this is is just a typical rouse from Christian nurses. You can see that OP said she personally looked at the Bible for wisdom. It was so personal that she bolded that verse. The implication is...

  23. Nursing Spirituality

    khminh replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Except that people on your side care about patients simply because it's the right thing. Patients can expect nothing but compassion from you. I don't know any nursing program that teaches nurses to be...

  24. Nursing Spirituality

    khminh replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Then what I said about those Christians does not apply to you. I read the Bible. I know Christian doctrine pretty well. If Christian nurses truly care about patients as they claim, they would have...

  25. Nursing Spirituality

    khminh replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    When I am sick, if I have a choice, you will be on my first priority. What I need at the moment is compassion and empathy from a human without baggage. I am not an atheist, but I feel safe around...
